Seeking comfort is a 60-minute, self-guided soundwalk that invites participants to stroll, even linger and loiter, and listen to the sounds of Vancouver’s alleys and beyond.
Presented by Vancouver New Music and Vancouver Soundwalk Collective.
As Frauke Behrendt writes, “soundwalking is a spatio-temporal, embodied, situated, multi-sensory and mobile practice”. Inspired by this and what Jean-Luc Nancy describes as voices possessing a presence that moves and breathes beyond a location, and in particular, Hildegard Westerkamp’s seminal notions on the intermixing of aural ecologies, Seeking comfort encourages listening to the milieu of pandemic life through the lens of public and domestic space.
